Congratulations, Dr. G!!! Happy Anniversary! You have made some pretty difficult days bearable with the laughs! Don't let anyone ever tell you this is a waste of time, it helps lots and lots of us deal with the daily grind!!!!

You all have no idea what a pleasure it is to work with this man! Aside from his humor, fun tales of work life as well as home life, he is a riot to work with, and very good to me! It seems like yesterday that this all began, its been fun watching all of these unfold into this incredible work of real life crazy tales! To you Dr. Grumpy, I'm coming up on my 6 year anniversary soon, I think that's deserving of a hmmm...Porsche?!?! What to you all think? Anyway, congrats Dr. Grumpy on the one year status its been quite a fun ride here with you!Back to farming now I suppose:)Yours Truly,Mary~

Happy Anniversary, Dr. Grumpy! I love your sense of humor. I started reading your blog this summer and it's the first thing I check every day. Many, many thank yous for starting my day off with a big laugh. I hope you keep writing for a VERY long time.

Thank you so much for becoming the entertainment value in so many humdrum days. I need to get everyone in this hospital with a sense of humor (five or six people that I know of) to read you every day. And thanks to your patients, staff, drug reps, your family and even to your dogs for providing blogging fodder. Happy Holidays, Dr. G. and to all Grumpyites everywhere!

Happy Grumpiversary!!! As another said, I am not a frequent commenter but I do read your blog every single day and have read all of your posts and comments. Thanks to you, your staff, your family, and patients for providing me with giggles each and every day. Please keep writing! I LOVE your blog.

Congrats! I just started reading your blog about a month ago--right after I left a pain management practice and moved to the somewhat saner world of internal medicine. Thank you for making me laugh everyday.

I don't remember how I came to find your blog, but I sure am glad I did! Every occupation has its quirks, bad points -and thankfuly, yes usually some good ones too. But it's so nice, refreshing and fun to read your take on your patients, drug reps, other doctors and all. Rarely do you fail to entertain and often educate too in the process and there are some days when I really need to hear someone else be sarcastic, cynical and yet, happy too. Renews me, it does!Have a great Holiday!

Your blog is freaking hillarious! It gets me through some pretty hair raising shifts because I know that there are other shit magnets out there! A couple of the nurses and docs try to take out 20 minutes each shift to share in the funnies. Congrats on the anniversary :)

Congratulations on your blogiversary, Dr. Grumpy. It is a testament to you and your readers that I, in my short attention span for such things, continue to check back on a regular basis. You improve the quality of my craptacular cubicle more than you know. (No offense to my amazing boss, who I see on here in comments more often than I see her in person.)

Thanks bunches Dr. Grumpy!!! My day is not complete unless I catch up on all your craziness. And that bouncy horse...used to have one just like it, until the seat cracked, then the bouncing and rocking pulled that seat crack open just enough to pinch my @$$ something fierce then clamp back down on my shorts so I couldn't climb off. Mom found me still on the horse long after she called for dinner...I'd whimpered myself into a lather and lost my voice. Yeah, thanks for bringing back horrific childhood memories Dr. Grumpy! ;^)

Like all the rest, I just love your blog, writing style, sense of humor, cynicism, and your unique spin on how to deal with people that have trouble gripping the obvious, and no common sense. As someone already stated, since there is no shortage of stupid, I look forward to reading your blog for YEARS to come! Thank you for everything!

I didn't read through the previous comments (51 at the time), but I can bet I'm not the first to say THANK YOU for your stories and anecdotes. For me, they're a nice winddown at night after a long day of pushing pills.

Best wishes to you and the Grumpy family, and may 2010 bring you good stories, good times, and - of course - plenty of Diet Coke.
